    Just in time for its October Prime Day event, Amazon is announcing a new Fire TV Stick 4K with a redesigned remote, as well as a second, fancier remote that you can find with Alexa, and some new Alexa+ features built into the Fire TV interface, which should help make it easier for you to find the best streaming shows and movies. However, only one of these is available starting today; for the other two, you'll have to wait a little longer. Like the Fire TV Stick HD, released earlier this year, th

    I've enjoyed photography ever since I was a kid; my mom was into it when I was growing up, and my dad even built her a darkroom in our basement. I spent many hours down there developing film from my Canon AE-1, and watching the images magically appear before my eyes.

However, there was one thing that I was waiting to hear, which never came. This entire year, there have been dozens upon dozens of reports of smart glasses being used to record and harass individuals (many of them women), with those recordings appearing on Instagram and other soci

    I'm not only an editor at Tom's Guide, but also a homeowner and a parent. I've been testing smart home devices in and around my house for years. I'm the guy with the 20-foot inflatable skeleton at Halloween, the guy with the robot lawnmower prowling his yard, and the guy who made a lightsaber out of hardware store parts. This column is going to take a look at tech, tools, and tips for your kids, your pets, and anything else that could make your house more fun and functional. Age comes for us all

    The big headline of Apple's Surprise and shine event was the announcement of the new foldable iPhone Duo along with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, but behind the scenes was some not-so-welcome news. Due to the ongoing component shortages, Apple quietly increased the prices of some of its older phones. The iPhone 16, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, and iPhone Air all saw their prices go up by $100 on Apple's site. While you'll undoubtedly still be able to get discounts from carriers, the company's older p
